Specification of Letters iPatent N0. 11,152, dated J une 27, 1854:.

Be it known that I, CHS. H. BEATTY, 01- the city of Wheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of Virginia, have invented 01 discoverecl eertain new and useful Improvements in 13he Construct-ion 01: C0ffee and Spice Mills; and I C10 hereby declare that the Same are describecl ancl represented in the following specifieation and accompanying drawings.

The nature of my invention 0r discovery consists in the construction 0f the erank 01 operating lever which is maole in two parts parallel with each other as seen in the drawing A and B, Figures 1 and 2.

T0 enable others skilled in the art to use my invencion I Will proceecl to deseribe its construction and operation.

Fig. l, the upper 0r main part of the crank 01 lever;l*ig. 2, the tempering 01 adjusting section 0f the erank or lever Which is loosely riv'etecl 011 the pin, a, Fig. l,

through the hole b in the end of the section Fig. 2 as may be seen in the draft Fig. 7 at a. The square hole d, in the large end 0f the sectio1i B, Fig. 2, is made a sufficient size to allow 111 to pass 01 Slip freely 011130 the square of E, Fig. 5, in order that the thumb 01 se1; screw can move it readily. The square hole c, in1zhe upper seetion of the crank A, Fig. 1, is made 150 fit the upper part 0f the square E, Fig. 5, tight so as t0 hold the crank in its proper position. The se1: screw O, Fig. S, passes through the hole f, in the back end of the crank A, Fig. 7, saicl hole f, having a threacl cut in it so that the set screw, C,

will fit it. The balance 0f the mill is put- 1sogether and the 0rank is put 130 its place the cap D, Fig. 4, is riveted' 011 t0p 0f the crank A, and B, by the pin f, Fig. 5 as seen in 1;he draft Fig. 7, at a, however leaving length sufiicient of the spindle E, Fig. 1501 the mit, H, to move freely in the shell 01 outsicle grinder, G, so that thenu or inside grinder may be raiseol er lowered a1 the Will 0f the operator to grincl c0arse or fine. The upper part of crank A, when the screw is turned 130 the right presses against the cap, D, ancl the lower sect-ion of the crank, B,

presses 011 the top o f the crotch, F, thereby drawing the inside grinder, H, as near1zhe outside grinder, G, as may be required for fine grincling ancl turning the screw the comtrary direction produces the contrary result.

The advantages arising from the improve ment claimed are the cheapness ancl simplicityof the arrangement which a material i1 sem in the manui'aeture 0f such articles also its strength ancl durability anal the ease with which it can 100 changed 10 grincl coarse or fine requiring no extra agen1; t0 operate the temperscrew more 1than the thumb and finger and always keeping its position when shiftecl and never getting 0ut of order.

WVhat I claim and desire t-o secure by Letters Patent is- Adjust-ing the movable grinder of co1'fee 01 spice mills by a handle 01 lever composed of tw0 parallel pieces ancl a tempering screvv substantially es described.
